The object of my invention is toiprovidea windowhalf screen of'simple7 durable and comparatively inexpensive construction. A further object of my inventionis to provide a 4screen structure consisting cfa screen covered frame and a pair of guide and'supporting tracks, the parts being arranged relative to each other whereby the screen may be tipped relative to the guide tracks and easily withdrawn from them7 this operation being performedfrom the inside cfa building in which thel window is mounted. u

More particularly yit is my objectto provide a screen frame, of novel construction whereby a screen covering may, be' applied thereto and stretched relative thereto in a Vconvenient manner.

y Another object is to providein combination with a lscreen frame, apair of guide tracks each one havingia pair 'of flangesso arranged that a notch is formed between the flanges through which the screen trame may slide whereafter thescreen framel mayl be swung toV a positionv contacting Awith the flanges for thereby supportingthe screen relativeto the window. v 'A Still ya urtherobject is to providenleans for covering the notch'between the flanges of the guide track to kprevent the entrance of flies therethrough. s n

With these and other objects in view my invention c onsists'in thecons'truction, arrangementl and combination of the'various parts of *Y my device, whereby the objects contemplat-k ed are attained.asjhereinafter more 'fully set ufortlnmpointed outI in my' claims, and illusdevice being considerably 4reduced Y for con- .serving space on'the'drawings.
